Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir

Pictured above is singer/guitarist Jerry Garcia and singer/guitarist Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead. This backstage photo was taken on New Year’s Eve 1976, when the Dead played the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Garcia, the band’s frontman, died of a heart attack on August 9, 1995, just eight days after he turned 53. Weir, now in his 70s, played in numerous bands after Garcia’s death, including The Dead (consisting of former members of the original band), Kingfish, RatDog, Bobby and the Midnites, and more. He currently plays guitar and sings in Bob Weir and Wolf Bros.
